National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Floriana or Santa Lucia that keep their silverware dream alive.
Floriana and Santa Lucia should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Floriana form and stats
Last season their Fa Trophy adventure ended in the quarter-finals.The story so far in the Premier League for Floriana at their home stadium (Hibernians Stadium) is 3 wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in ten attempts. Floriana are slowly digging their own grave here at Hibernians Stadium with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Senglea Athletic match.
Prior to that, an away loss at Sirens in the Premier League.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Floriana as they are travelling to their away game against Senglea Athletic in the Premier League. That match is three days after this one.
The Floriana fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 10 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Floriana defense is not exactly impregnable. 15 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

The game before that, in the Premier League, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Sliema Wanderers.
After this away game Santa return home for a Premier League game against Tarxien Rainbows. That game is only three sleeps after this.
